G1 Therapeutics CFO Barclay \\u201cBuck\\u201d Phillips set his sights on the CFO position on day one of his very first job back in high school. After he hustled home to share the great news about landing the part-time gig, Phillips\\u2019s father, a stock broker, shared some prescient advice: Son, always make sure you\\u2019re the guy whose hand is closest to the cash register or the cash flow\\u2014that way, you\\u2019ll always have the opportunity to add the most value. The advice struck a chord. Today, with close to three decades of capital markets, financial strategy, and business development experience in life sciences and venture capital under his belt, Phillips remains as close to the cash flow as possible. He owns responsibility for all finance operations, including treasury, as well as for investor relations, business development, and strategic transactions at the clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that develops therapeutics to treat cancer. Phillips discusses the value that he\\u2019s contributed via innovative projects during his career, as well as the joy that he\\u2019s gained from those unique experiences.
